According to news originating from Hangzhou, Peop le's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The dual act ive bridge (DAB) converter is the key enabler in many popular applications, such as wireless charging, electric vehicle, and renewable energy. ZVS range and eff iciency are two significant performance indicators for the DAB converter." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Zhejiang University, "To obtain the desired ZVS and efficiency performance, modulation should be ca refully designed. Hybrid modulation (HM) considers several single modulation str ategies to achieve good comprehensive performance. Conventionally, to design an HM, a harmonic approach or piecewise approach is used, but they suffer from a ti me-consuming model-building process and inaccuracy. Therefore, an artificial-int elligence-based hybrid extended phase shift (HEPS) modulation is proposed. Gener ally, the HEPS modulation is developed in an automated fashion, which alleviates the cumbersome model-building process while keeping high model accuracy. In HEP S modulation, two EPS strategies are considered to realize optimal efficiency wi th full ZVS operation over entire operating ranges. Specifically, to build data- driven models of ZVS and efficiency performance, extreme gradient boosting (XGBo ost), which is a state-of-the-art ensemble learning algorithm, is adopted. After ward, particle swarm optimization with state-based adaptive velocity limit (PSO- SAVL) is utilized to select the best EPS strategy and optimize modulation parame ters."

According to news reporting from Hangzhou, People's Republic of China, by New sRx journalists, research stated, "In this letter, we propose a model predictive control (MPC)-based robot pose controller for our newly designed wheeled bipeda l robot (WBR). The proposed controller uses the virtual model control concept, a llowing for wider applicability by ignoring the leg dynamics." Financial support for this research came from National Natural Science Foundatio n of China (NSFC). The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Zhejiang Univers ity, "By directly incorporating the non-holonomic constraint of the wheels into the dynamic equation, a wheeled rigid dynamic model is proposed to maximize the motion flexibility and minimize the model order. A hierarchical MPC control stru cture is employed to track the desired pose while considering the non-minimal ph ase property of WBRs in real time. To enhance the autonomy of the robot, we prop ose a state estimator that utilizes kinematics and inertial sensor data to provi de a high-speed and accurate estimation of the robot's state. Both simulation an d real-world experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can track a pose t rajectory with lower error than traditional feedback control methods."

    Researchers from University of Ottawa Report Recent Findings in Robotics and Aut omation (Stability of Human Balance During Quiet Stance With Physiological and E xoskeleton Time Delays)

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Data detailed on Robotics - Robotics a nd Automation have been presented. According to news reporting originating from Ottawa, Canada, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Human balance with e xoskeleton assistance is studied using an inverted pendulum model, considering t ime delays in the muscle reflexes and the exoskeleton controller. The model incl udes two motors at the ankle joint whose maximum torques depend on the joint ang le and angular velocity, reflecting the combined moment-generating capacity of a ll plantarflexor and dorsiflexor muscles." Financial support for this research came from CGIAR. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Ottaw a, "These ‘musclelike' motors obey a proportional-derivative (PD) reflex contro l law where the angle and angular velocity of the ankle joint are subject to fee dback delays. The stability of this system is analyzed using Galerkin projection to convert the governing neutral delay differential equation into a system of f irst-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and computing the eigenvalues of the ODE system. The stability analysis is then repeated with exoskeleton torq ues included at the ankle joint. The exoskeleton torques are assumed to obey a P D control law as well but with a unique state feedback delay. Stability charts r eveal that the area of the stability region always increases as the exoskeleton delay decreases, but the area may decrease as the physiological delay decreases. "

The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Aston University, "However, the application of LLMs and comparison of the abilities among differ ent LLMs with their human counterparts in ophthalmic care remain under-reported. Hitherto, studies in eye care have demonstrated the utility of ChatGPT in gener ating patient information, clinical diagnosis and passing ophthalmology question -based examinations, among others. LLMs' performance (median accuracy, % ) is influenced by factors such as the iteration, prompts utilised and the domai n. Human expert (86%) demonstrated the highest proficiency in disea se diagnosis, while ChatGPT-4 outperformed others in ophthalmology examinations (75.9%), symptom triaging (98%) and providing informat ion and answering questions (84.6%). LLMs exhibited superior perfor mance in general ophthalmology but reduced accuracy in ophthalmic subspecialties . Although AI-based LLMs like ChatGPT are deemed more efficient than their human counterparts, these AIs are constrained by their nonspecific and outdated train ing, no access to current knowledge, generation of plausible-sounding ‘fake' res ponses or hallucinations, inability to process images, lack of critical literatu re analysis and ethical and copyright issues. A comprehensive evaluation of rece ntly published studies is crucial to deepen understanding of LLMs and the potent ial of these AI-based LLMs. Ophthalmic care professionals should undertake a con servative approach when using AI, as human judgement remains essential for clini cal decision-making and monitoring the accuracy of information. This review iden tified the ophthalmic applications and potential usages which need further explo ration. With the advancement of LLMs, setting standards for benchmarking and pro moting best practices is crucial."
